Anybody have luck as bad as mine?

Please tell me I'm not the only person whose pull rates are abysmal? I opened 18 packs got 1 shinx art card. My buddy opened 4 and and got a hit in every single one!!!! Does this app just pick and choose what accounts are curses? Like seriously what is going on

    cant speak to favouritism on the app but ive opened over 30 Dialga packa and stopped getting new cards after about the 10th. Nothing of value pulled besides a yanmega, but i havent even pulled a yanma

    The pull rates for this app are severely wrong then. No reason I should have opened 20 more packs than somebody and they have wayyy more hits. Insane! This app is dumpster fire

    How about this?

    60 boosters opened, form all the 180 ♦️ cards, got Mankey only once, and form all the ♦️♦️ card, I have duplicates of everything, yet never got any Mythical Slab.

    when i first started playing, i was getting ex and art cards every few packs. One time i got two zapdos ex in a single pack. It loaded me with every celebi, 2 charziard ex, 3 machamp ex, mew ex, mewtwo ex among some others. Then all of a sudden, nothing…. for the last 15 packs its doubled useless cards i dont want. No hollows even. And i get random cards i would never use or care about.

    I decided to make an alternate account to trade with myself and open packs from there. Which takes hours to achieve lol.. i explicitly want a raichu. So i spent all the points to get pikachu packs. Not a single raichu in 20+ packs. I only got an articuno ex, cubone art, squirtle art, and archenine ex. I concluded that maybe its an ip tracker to prevent self trading like that, and maybe its set up some block on my account to get good cards. Or its tracking what you have and then blocking you so it can incentivize you to pay real money.

    I am having the same experience. I can't say if it's what's going on here, but getting you hooked on good drops then cutting you off is an extremely common predatory method of getting users to spend real money.

    Over the last 1-3 months ive opened probably 5 of the “god packs” or “rare packs” (the ones that have the lights pop out on opening)

    From those packs, i have pulled:
    - 0 cards I dont already have multiple duplicates of
    - 0 ex cards
    - 0 full art cards
    - 0 cards with rainbow boarder
    - 0 shiny cards

    even these rare packs are filled with the same garbage as a regular pack. I actually find i have better pulls from standard packs than any of my rare packs

    It is RNG, they can't legally make it so an account (even paid) has advantages or disadvantages on pull rates.

    case in point, i just pulled shiny charizard from a standard pack. Last “Rare Pack” i pulled, the best card was, i think, Iono. Not even full art
